The Midlands - Weather Chat

[BlueHedgehog074]

Hi all, in looking up catch up TV i came across this  (What's Wrong with Our Weather?) can't believe i missed it 

I found it interesting more so the second half, with the UK could be in for more cold winters       (Catch up 03/08 BBC FOUR)

 

Physicist Dr Helen Czerski and meteorologist John Hammond make sense of Britain's extreme weather and discover that recent extreme winters are connected by the jet stream.

Thanks for sharing this, Dancerwithwings. Might have to check that out at some point when there's time.

 

And colder Winters, eh? That would (personally) be grand. 

 

Did turn out to be a pretty decent day in the end. Some periods where the army of clouds tried to have a fight with the sky, otherwise been warm, bright and dry. Temperature currently around 20*C with a maximum of 22.7*C.

Today which was supposed to be another cloud and drizzle fest ended up a better day than Friday, which was meant to be sunny. Plenty of sun this afternoon, and largely clear now. Can August rescue this summer from ignominy after all?

HP has killed the drizzle and cloud broke up more still around the same pressure as this morning,a touch lower to yesterday.

I`m kept a closer eye on the weather lately as with hay making the last 5 acres.

Was in West Oxfordshire today and it rained properly for a few hours, never felt happier to see rain to freshen it up abit.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

often had this setup over me lately, clear skies to the north, and grey/unsettled skies to my south, I bet Mr D's timelapse shows completely clear skies, especially as camera faces NW

[Snowyowl9]

Looks like the thundery low breakdown coming in much quicker now like late tonight Thursday morning.

Ah well got our hay baled yesterday so lets see some action.

Yes my hay is in now, Bring on the rain the fields are very dry.

[dusk]

Looks like I timed my 3 days off work just about right!

 

Lovely out there today, and some decent potential to see some storms over the next 2 days.

[Summer of 95]

Yes a lovely day today, early mist gone by 9 and only a few small clouds since, with a max of 24C. An August full of days like this would easily be the best this century.

[Barbmac]

Fantastic sunset following a glorious day here on the Malverns. Just took this snapshot:

 

[conor123]

Yesterday mostly cloudy, gorgeous today especially after work when could enjoy it, 23.5c and lovely warm sunshine with no breeze, a first for 2015!

Sunday looks shockingly decent again! and looks pleasant for my days off next week to ! maybe August will turn out the best of the three for the first time in years!

[Snowyowl9]

Its surprising how dry it is despite having showery rain most of july and so far this august.

Today looks a yawn fest weather wise low cloud and feeling quite cool,thunderstorms are dying a death.

[conor123]

Shock horror another 'washout/storm fest' forecast turns into mid level muck and a band of drizzle with storms reserved for usual suspects   , overcast and 19.5c here.

Storms could be forecast no further east than Ireland and still turn up in ruddy Kent and Eastbourne lol!

[matt_in_dudley]

I take it the forecast went a bit wrong then? I only heard it was supposed to thunder/rain this morning so I didn't get too excited! 

[cyclonic happiness]

What the hell is wrong with the weather when it comes to rain/snow bands??? They ALWAYS split and go either side for the middle part of the Midlands and then reform the other side, before strengthening and dumping all their precipitation. 

 

And the MET office showed heavy rain, inescapable heavy rain, crossing the whole country. But yet again it's bone dry here!

 

I'm starting to get really disillusioned with the weather now. It's been boring for over 3 years, literally nothing interesting has happened, not even frost! ><

[cyclonic happiness]

Oh look! the latest radar has shown it reforming just as it leaves the central Midlands.

 

Thanks a lot God!

[Polar Maritime]

Light rain starting to turn moderate here.

[Snowshine]

I'm pretty sure the forecast for today was thunderstorms, and I haven't heard even the slightest rumble. 

[dusk]

Aye, shag all storm activity here also. It's currently dripping some occasional big rain drops, but nothing of interest although the lawns will appreciate it as I was just thinking earlier that it's looking very parched indeed.

 

From memory, I think we've had just one day of decent PPN since the beginning of July.

[Shane Wheeldon]

Well what a suprise, as soon as they forecast storms yesterday i fully expected a day of grey muck followed by drizzle which slowly sparks into life once it passes over! What is it with this area, we did look in the firing line for some pretty heavy rain at least.

I think 97% of the uk has seen a storm now unfortunately some of us midlanders ( mainly Shropshire) have been nothing! Pretty awful summer to be honest. I had the last week of July and the 1st week of August off and the weather was foul for the 1st week while i was on holiday in wales!! I go back to work and the sun comes out and it warms up! Grrrrr! Sorry rant over!
